Crunican already pissed on bechtel gauge and she gone now.

Actually the Bechtel-SP weird tech strategy worked pretty well. The UP now owns the property and the strategy. What a war it would still be to "nationalize" the UP in California but it is the right way to proceed.

Still in Europe, with a long history of state-owned RR's. you see a pattern of de-nationalization.

The private auto has won the surface transport war and will continue to win, with electric propulsion and self-driving. Watch for a re-invigorated highway lobby and another Interstate Highway System and road expansions in all the towns.

There will be so many vehicles they will be driving on the sidewalks, running over the electric scooters and skate boarders. Forget pedestrians; all the old people will be getting around in their own electric tanks. Bumper to bumper.
